Before beginning the procedure, we must examine your gums to ensure no gum disease is present. Treatment will be given if required. X-raying your jawbone after that is necessary to determine its density and confirm it can support the implants as they are shorter than usual. An impression of your mouth, with measurements taken, will then be sent to the lab to have a new set of false teeth made according to our specifications.

You'll return to our St Helena, CA dental office when it's time for your implant procedure. We'll start by numbing your gums and providing anesthesia. Then, four small implants will be placed just under your gum line to anchor the new set of teeth. Once the implants are secure, we can click on your dentures.
